New iOS 9 Features Mean System-Wide Tor Is In the Works For the First Time (dailydot.com)

Patrick O'Neill writes: At a time when privacy and encryption on mobile devices are the subject of political storm, last month's iOS 9 release means that Apple devices will finally get what Android has had for years: System-wide Tor anonymity. A handful of security experts recently set to work on projects to bring more powerful anonymity to iOS. “There are a bunch of pieces in the works,” Tor developer and Guardian Project leader Nathan Freitas told the Daily Dot. “We just started to work on it and think about it. Tor knows we can’t ignore all the iOS 9 users in the world.”

Ahh, the hubris of people who think that THEIR project is so important. Only a small minority of iOS users even know what TOR is and only infinitesimal percentage of iOS wants it on their devices.
